À propos de cet audio

 A compelling new biography of Camilla, Queen Consort, that reveals how she transformed her role and established herself as one of the key members of the royal family.

For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, the Queen refused to see or speak to her, but, after the death of Prince Philip, the Duchess became one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she saw in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005

Angela Levin uncovers Camilla’s rocky journey to be accepted by the royal family and how she coped with the brutal portrayal of her in Netflix's The Crown. The public have witnessed her tremendous contribution to help those in need, especially during Covid. Levin has talked to many of the Duchess’s long-term friends, her staff and executives from the numerous charities of which Camilla is patron. She reveals why Camilla concentrates on previously taboo subjects, such as domestic violence and rape. Most of all, Levin tells the story of how Camilla has changed from a fun-loving young woman to one of the senior royals’ hardest workers. She has retained her mischievous sense of humour, becoming a role model for older women and an inspiration for younger ones.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall is both an extraordinary love story and a fascinating portrait of an increasingly confident Queen Consort. It is an essential read for anyone wanting a greater insight into the royal family.

Like so many others, over the years I’ve gone from a bad opinion of Camilla to admiration of a woman who has never put a foot wrong and obviously supports & loves her husband very much. It was interesting to learn about her Charities including Domestic Violence and Osteoporosis. Well written and performed!

I was hoping for a real nutty gritty look at Camilla’s life - the good, the bad, all of it. No one is perfect. But she was sure made to sound as if she is in this book! I think I rolled my eyes once each chapter. The author’s fawning got to be ridiculous. I’m not that hard to please as far as a good read goes but this book won’t be making the cut for me.

Was this meant to be a deep look at Camilla or a PR campaign?
